Looking to head out there on Saturday and was wondering if there is anything I should know regarding parking, finding the trails etc.

Cheers folks

Bring a few £ in case you see the ranger and have to pay for a permit.

If you are doing xc I would suggest hooking up with someone who knows the area to make the most of it.

Parking, either on the verge along the road south of Woburn Sands - you will see others parked there or in the car park at the top of Church Road in Woburn Sands.

Its local trails for local people, a local makes a good guide, failing that

Ahh, I was led to believe there was some dh specific trails there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not all about the dh but I do like testing my skills out on the drops, jumps and berms. Perhaps I may have to go elsewhere then.

ahh yes, but the question is: Is it worth the 95 mile drive? Could head over to Chicksands instead.

Have a look on Youtube for an idea of what the jump area is like.
